Finally, Age-Old Question Answered: Which Came First, Chicken or the Egg?

[Stinkfinger]

Yes folks, this question has stifled prominent minds for centuries. Aristotle said it was a question without answer, Pope Pius IX ordered his bible scholars to search the holy scriptures for a clue, Franklin D. Roosevelt said "we have nothing to fear except fear itself" and then asked for two over easy with bacon.

Einstein quipped "this question is more dumbfounding than my proposal on relativity" and then promptly asked for two over easy with a bagel. Yes folks, all the famous people of all the ages past have asked this question and until now, no answer has came forth.

The answer: Its quite easy folks, the egg came first by about three minutes.

The chicken came first.
Pox got it exactly right.
God named the first chicken Charlie, and he saw that it was good.
He then placed Charlie in the Chicken Coop of Eden.
But Charlie was lonely and wanted for companionship. He became moody and morose. He was so ate up with supressed sexual frustration he could only wish there were some other chickens for him to go on the warpath and pluck all the feathers outta. Or a hen for him to git jiggy with.
God saw this and put Charlie into a poultry powernap, at which time he removed one of Charlies Chicken McRiblets and made a female. He named her Henrietta, and saw that it was good.

I am unable to relate the full version of this story due to Crappie.com rules regulating adult content/smut, but let it suffice to say that the eggs THEN came into the scene.

Clearly the chicken was first.

Great post.

To bad I don't have the ability to become poetic or whatever over chicken and eggs like Horseshoer (I liked your answer). The answer may lie in whether you believe in creation or evolution. Both take a leap of faith, but I think that evolution takes a much greater leap.

I say the chicken came first because the bible says that GOD created the earth and all the fowl upon it.

[willsjwills]

yep. horseshoer and pox are right. chicken first by a head. the egg came last.

[slabbatical]

I've always wondered....If the egg came first, what/who would sit on it to make it hatch??? I agree, the bird came first.

[crap-king]

I don't care which came first as long as I got chicken to fry and eggs to eat
